“NVMe over Fabrics is an essential technology to scale-out NVMe storage connectivity using the simplicity and efficiency of an End-to-End NVMe model”, said Chris Browy, VP Sales and Marketing of Avery Design Systems. “Our industry leading NVM-Xactor now spans the spectrum of client to enterprise NVMe design applications”.

“CNEX Labs has effectively employed the Avery NVMe and PCIe VIP for the development of our semiconductor solutions. Using these models and compliance testsuites has helped us to achieve comprehensive, high quality verification for our ASIC designs”, said Justin Heindel, VP Product for CNEX. “The technical support has been excellent, and we look forward to using Avery VIP products on future NVMe designs.”

NVM-Xactor works in conjunction with various physical transport layers including Avery’s leading PCI-Xactor PCI Express and AMBA Verification IP solutions or other fabric interfaces such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or Infiniband to supply a complete NVMe subsystem verification environment. A NVM bus/fabric adaptor layer provides memory and RDMA transport access interface by the NVM host software BFM to the NVMe Controller via the full bus/fabric protocol or through a bypass mode yielding faster simulation performance for large data movement. A reference NVMe controller layer also supports core-level verification by emulating the NAND Flash backend subsystem.
